What I want to know is what in your opinion gives these kids the idea that society "abandoned" them by not arranging a marriage for them and that this all is supposed to be handed to them on a platter?



My opinion doesn't matter. Anyone who is the least bit capitalist would certainly not see it as abandoning them, of course. It is the opinion of those individuals that matters, and they certainly see things this way.

It is not just not providing a marriage, right. No job, no money, no way to be independent, no meaning in life generally ... combined with a contant barrage of commercials detailing what is important in life, and unreachable to them (think cars, what you might call "nightclub women", and the like). The marriage thing factors pretty highly.


So in your magical Islam free world, what would these kids be doing instead?
